New Orleans Bowl -- Southern Mississippi v. Middle Tennessee State

I think we're seeing a trend with these early bowl games: all of them are named after a place. Seriously, you can't come up with a better name than the city hosting the bowl? That's just lazy.

OK, rant over. Let's move to the actual game. I really don't know a damn thing about either of these teams. There is a possibility for a good bit of offense, but who really knows. The New Orleans Bowl is a perfect example of an extraneous game that no one other than the fans of the schools involved care about. That being said, I'll still probably watch at least half of this game.
